[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i've heard some good things re jefferson middle school in particular.  "Jefferson offers accelerated and intervention courses for students at all levels, as well as a variety of enrichment courses - including Project Lead the Way and Coding."  i don't myself really understand why in-bound dcps elementary school families often choose to commute to really far to latin or to attend basis instead.[/quote]

Because of the high school path, duh. And most of the students and families at these schools appear satisfied with their children’s education. 
Is that quote from Jefferson? Beware marketing speak, the reality rarely measures up.[/quote]

I have never heard that and the few times parents respond on here they say they tried it and pulled their kid mid year or after one year. Said its chaotic,  the oveall academic ability is very low in many of the students[/quote]

We have a current seventh grader at Jefferson. I’ve never seen anyone on here say that they “pulled their kid” for the reasons you noted. Do you have any links to such posts?

Our kid, like the vast majority of students who entered sixth grade at Jefferson last year, is back for seventh grade this year.
